Some things!

OMG necklace. That a really sweet girl gave to me when I was out and a super cute cream headband with pearls sewn onto it, that I made ^_^


Flamingo lights. They hang over my sewing room door and light my living room.


My toy babies! Myashmyash and bunny (I designed/made them both) and an ikea spider.



So I had a great weekend, on Friday, my friends bought me a fridge for my house, and afterward we hung out in my empty-ish living room playing monopoly and making things out of wool and writing nonsense stories and eating pizza.

After making wool things with my friends on Friday night, I decided to continue the fun by making headbands on Saturday.

My mum took me to pick up my fridge, which is shiny black and dark chrome and we got me a microwave that matches. We then went shopping at the market near me. I got a fantastic 50s breadboard, complete with inscribed bread knife and smoking mexican on a donkey.


I cooked for the first time in my new house. I realised, despairingly, as I began, that I do not know how to cook. That being said, the food I created was quite successful and healthy. All kidney beans and tomatoes and pasta and stuff (actually, there wasn't really much "stuff"). Not having any cutlery or utensils yet, I cooked using a potato masher and Luke and I made do with a tablespoon measure and a plastic spork.


Dinner preceded going out to play with some friends the first time in several weeks. Apple UDLs and Strawberry Indos made for a predominately sweet, tasty and intoxicated evening.

Also went marketing with Luke on Sunday morning, wandered to the Rundle St markets too, but found them a bit commercial. It was nice spending time with Luke again.

I really love living on my own. I feel so free and relaxed. I can do things on my own time, and I feel neither guilty nor pressured nor the need to meet expectations. And I now have some stuff in my apartment!

(not very much yet)

(need a wardrobe)

My sewing room is a pit of despair - or just really disorganised. Either way, it's frustrating because I'd like it to be a useful and productive space already. Shelves soon. And a table. Then I can finish sewing the fabulous cushion covers I started making, and make all the other things I want.

I HAVE DECIDED TO DO EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE!

Or something like that.

Anyway, here are some things...

My name is Jessie and I officially now live in a super cool apartment in the city. Things I do… I sew some, and make films some, i tumblr some, i paint some, i take photos some and actually, I do some of a whole lot of stuff, but not a whole lot of anything. Except procrastinating, I do a lot of that.

I have also decided to do some of a blog. Or maybe all of a blog, if that's possible. I guess as much of it as I do, is all of it. Yes? Yes.

I guess I can show you my new home. It was devoid of furniture and electricity when these photos were taken. But it did have a hula hoop in it, and a super cute vintage casserole dish… and it did have my friends in it too, which was exceedingly pleasant. My friend Pippin is my photographer at present, as I am not in possession of a DSLR, or for that matter, any sort of non-broken, reasonable quality camera. I felt my photobooth addiction would be terribly awkward for the house showing, so I requested her assistance.

I lit my stove ^_^

Bathroom.

Something else… I weigh far more than I would like to, and will be working on that in the coming months. I intend to include that as part of my internet adventure. Something something fatblog… mmhmm. At time of writing, I am sitting at an unfortunate 98.2kg. Appalling. Especially because, 6 months ago I was at a slightly more acceptable 85kg. The gain, I believe, was a result of subdermal contraception which I have recently had removed. Accompanied by the addition of duromine (when I can afford it) to my daily chemical cocktail, I hope I can bring myself to a weight at which I feel both comfortable and attractive.

This is a terrible angle. Nurrrrrrrrrr

So that is a post. How fabulous.




A note: my house has stuff in it now ^_^



But not very much.
